* This significantly shrinks the dependency tracking data and the compiled objects size, which speeds up the whole build process (especially the incremental builds) accelerating the daily development as a result.
* No intended code changes, ~27% smaller build. Enjoy ;)

- a hack in cmd_mkdir that was already obsolete a decade ago
- to distinguish "echo" from "echo.", but that is the wrong way to implement this anyway. There's nothing particularly special about the period, "echo" is just one of those commands that is lenient about where its parameters begin, and when it echos a line, the first character (usually a space, but in the case of "echo." a period) is skipped.
